The schools connected with the Brick Wesley and Union Methodist Churches were conducted wholly by white teachers from the time they were established till about ten years ago, when they came under their own supervision. Two important objects were gained by this assumption of new duties, viz:—An increased spirit of self reliance in their congregations, and the mental improvement of those employed as teachers.
